枝にいくつかの硬い蕾(つぼみ) 桜前線　まだ来ないのに 私たちの春は暦(こよみ)通り 希望の道に花を咲かせる

手探りで夢を語り 恋に悩んで　涙を分け合った

思い出が味方になる 明日から強く生きようよ つらいことがあったとしても 1人じゃない　何とかなるさ 一緒に走ったグラウンドで 頑張った汗を忘れないで My friend

ぎゅっとハグしたらこみ上げて来た 絶対　泣かないって決めてたのに お互いの涙を指で拭って 笑い合ったら　余計に泣けた

夕暮れが急かすように 最後のチャイムが未来の足音

思い出はまたできる 目の前に広がる青空 喜びも悲しみも 私たちの宝になるよ 別々の道　歩き出しても そばにいつもあなたがいるような… Best friend

ねえ　どうして 桜の木って切ないの? やがて咲いて　やがて散って 見上げたのは花の砂時計

ラララ… ラララ…

思い出が味方になる 明日から強く生きようよ つらいことがあったとしても 1人じゃない　何とかなるさ 一緒に走ったグラウンドで 頑張った汗を忘れないで My friend

ラララ… So long! ラララ…

いつか　私の結婚式に 絶対　招待するからね My friend So long! ...Smile So long! ...See you again

On the branches are numerous closed buds Though the cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet Our spring will arrive in accord with the calendar The road of hope will make the flowers bloom

We clumsily talked about our dreams Worrying about love, we shared tears

Our memories will become something to lean on Starting tomorrow, let's live strong Even if there's hardship You're not alone, you'll manage somehow Don't forget the perspiration we built up On the grounds we ran across together My friend

When you hugged me tight, it filled my heart I decided I definitely wouldn't cry, but Wiping each other's tears with our fingers When we laughed together, the tears came unbidden

Like the evening is hurrying it along The final chime sounds like the footsteps of the future

We can still make memories There's a blue sky spreading out before our eyes Happiness and sadness both Become our treasures Though we'll go our separate ways You'll always be here by my side... Best friend

Hey, why is it that the cherry trees are heartrending? They finally bloom, then soon scatter Looking up at them, the flowers are like an hourglass

La la la... La la la...

Our memories will become something to lean on Starting tomorrow, let's live strong Even if there's hardship You're not alone, you'll manage somehow Don't forget the perspiration we built up On the grounds we ran across together My friend

La la la... So long! La la la...

Someday, when I have my wedding I'll be sure to invite you My friend
